Places with good rail connection to Basel - Rheinfelden?
Hi all
My family (wife and baby daughter) and I will be looking to move out of temporary accommodation in Basel and into a rented flat. My wife is a stay at home mum and will be for the next few years.
We are looking for somewhere that offers value for money but is within Switzerland (I’m British and the prospect of being a frontelier is too legally risky for me). We are considering both rental prices, health insurance, taxes and commute costs). I don’t drive, so will be commuting by train.
Having done a fair bit of research, it seems that Rheinfelden in Aargau offers much of what we are looking for, as health insurance and taxes are lower than in Basel stadt or Basel land. Property also seems comparatively cheap. From what I can work out commute costs would be low as my ticket would be covered by the NW Switzerland pass.
What do fellow Baselites think about this plan? Do you have any other suggestions (particularly within Aargau) ?
Thanks ever so much!
